Misspent Youth

Said of oneself by a (usually older) person when they demostrate in front of unsuspecting onlookers a physical skill that belies their innocent looks or background. Such a skill usually reveals experience with a seedy, suspicious, questionable, or possibly illegal activty. Its a humorous self-deprecating confession of sorts that this skill was acquired by having practiced it in their youth; whether that's actually true or not.

Example 1: An old guy helping a stranger (who has locked their keys in their car) quickly jimmies the door open with the dexterity of a professional car thief.
Stranger: You made that look easy?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Example 2: A tiny old man steps up to a pool table puts his bet down then proceeds to clear the table to everyones amazement. As he pockets his winnings.
Amazed onlooker: How'd you do that?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Misspellation

Very sexy variation of misspelling. When someone misspells a word because they are incredibly stupid, that's a misspellation.

Len wrote "wasy" instead of "easy", I tried to correct her mistake and wrote "wast": I misspelled her misspellation.

Misspellrony

When hipsters intentionally misspell words, using common internet lingo such as srsly, n' junk, LAWLZ, and wtfbbq to be ironic. However, they do it so often they they are no longer being ironic and instead, just incredibly stupid. This often occurs in kids who frequent 4chan.

Indie Kid: OH HAI THERE.
Regular Kid: Hey.

Indie Kid: My ironic bad spelling is no longer becoming ironic, isn't it?
Regular Kid: yes, a bad case of Misspellrony.

Awful Misspellings

The result of a failed attempt made by someone with only a vague idea of what the 'English Language' actually is.

Easily notable as not a typo error, as a typo is still readable in normal language. No, one who is an awful misspeller actually has no idea whatsoever how that word should be, and will try and write phoenetically.

For many interesting examples of Awful Misspellings, please visit a special school, for special children.
